IMPROVEMENT lN DOLL-SUPPORTERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 220,606, dated October14, 1879; application filed May 19, 1879.

.ing is a specification.

The object of myinvention is to construct a simple and comparativelyinexpensive perambulating device, which can be readily attached to orremoved from an ordinary doll-body; and this object I attain in themanner which I will now proceed to describe, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side view of a (loll-bodywith the improved perambulating device attached thereto; Fig. 2, aperspective view of the per-- amhulating device detached from thedollbody, and Fig. 3 a perspective View of a modification.

A is a vertical bar, forked at the lower end, and having bearings for atransverse axle, B, which carries at each end a wheel, a. From the bar Aan arm, D, projects forward, and this arm has a forked end, formingbearings for the shaft of a wheel, 1)..

Near the upper end of the bar A is seured a split ring or band, d,forming a spring-clasp, which can be readily applied to or removed fromthe waist of the doll-body, the height of the bar A being such that whenthe doll-body is supported by the clasp d the feet will be slightlyabove the floor or sidewalk, and the doll will be mounted entirely uponthe wheeled frame, so that it can be readily pushed about from place toplace. The bar A extends above the clasp 61, so as to stiffen the bodyof the doll and keep the same in an upright position.

To the bar A is secured, preferably by pivotin g itthereto, one end of arod, E, the opposite end of which is furnished with a suitable handle,which can be grasped by the child, the rod thus forming a convenientmeans for trundling the doll about from place to place.

When the child is playing indoors the pusher-rodl) may be detached.

The above-described device can be cheaply manufactured," can be readilyapplied to or removed from the doll-body, and when in place will notinterfere with the dressing or undressing of the doll.

Instead of pivoting the rod E to the bar A, said rod may be madeseparate therefrom, and may have a clasp adapted to the waist of thedoll, as shown in Fig. 3.

I claim as my invention- The combination of a doll-body with the rod A,having a clasp for attachment to the body, a shaft, B, with wheels to a,and a forwardlyprojecting arm, D, carrying a wheel, b, all substantiallyas set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.

JOSEPHINE S. GOYE.
